🙋🏻‍♀️I don’t eat out a lot, but when I do, I do it right.
Hands-down one of my top 5 favorite restaurants and meals of life:
The bacon🥓, avocado 🥑 & brie eggs benny on #glutenfree bread from @ladymrestaurant.
Eggs are always perfectly poached and pan-fried potatoes crispy. Plus they make their own hot sauce AND KETCHUP now 😱😱😱
It’s one of those meals that I eat insanely slow, savoring each bite, just to prolong the pleasurable taste experience.
DAYYYYUM 🤤🤤🤤

When you have one big south (ish) facing window, it becomes your germination station ☀️🌱✨
Two old Ikea shoe racks, a @costco_canada bag of @promixgardening organic herb & veg soil mix and 11 seeding trays later, my microgreens for nibbling and seedlings for this season’s garden are beginning to pop 🌱.
It’s a bootstrappin’ gardener’s masterpiece that works great.
The only other thing you need? A good sport of a partner who is okay with you taking up the entire window to do your thing 😚👩🏻‍🌾😆

It’s one of those things that gets me out of bed in the morning.
Life is bursting forth and I friggen’ love it.
🌱
I seeded 10 trays on April 23 for this year’s organic edible garden. Much later than last year’s start, but it has also been a later spring (and plus, I’ve been away!). Hopefully it’ll be ok.
🌱
The seeds are now bursting open, eager to begin life as a seedling. To me, it’s an amazing miracle every time.
🌱
This year I was much more targeted with my seeding, focusing on the edible plants and veggies that we enjoy the most, scrapping the finicky, very slow growing, space hogging or less rewarding ones. I’m going extra crazy on the greens this year, because we eat sooo much of them. Tomatoes, too! 🍅

Are you growing your own food this year? If so, what are you most excited to grow? ✨

Toronto, I’m back! 🙋🏻‍♀️
Jetlagged, disorganized, a bit culture shocked, seasonal allergies in full swing and discombobulated (best word).
But I’m back.
I may have left my heart in Hawaii, but I know I’ll be back🌈.
For now, I have a strong desire to clean, organize, purge my possessions, seed trays for this year’s summer #garden, clean up the outdoor spaces and generally recalibrate my mind/body.
Anyone else feeling the need to re-calibrate at this time of year? ✨

FIND YOUR SOUL’S FOOD✨
I think this is one of the toughest things as adults. We get so “busy”, live to work, to pay the bills, to check off the ‘to-do lists’… that we leave little time for soul nourishing activities. And then after years and years of buzzing through life, we forget what activities even nourish our souls.
But we NEED those to be happy, healthy human beings; the activities that don’t necessarily make us money (though if they can, bonus) but feed our spirits.
Remembering or finding what these are (since they’re different for each of us) can be a challenge, but 💯 worth the search.
I spent the last few years searching deeply for what feeds my soul and I’ve discovered a few things.
One of them? The garden🌱— now I make sure to incorporate this into my life any way I can.

What feeds your soul and how do you incorporate that into your life? ✨

Obsessed with these super clean, delicious and of course #glutenfree coconut flour tortillas by @therealcoconut. They actually taste like flour tortillas, especially when warmed, and mega bonus they aren’t $8 for a pack of 4 like paleo coconut wraps 😱
(In Kauai I think I paid $4.99 for a pack of 12, totally reasonable!)
I’ll be missing these babies when I head back to Canada. This may be something I smuggle over the border with each visit, like my cases of @kerrygoldusa grassfed butter💁🏻‍♀️. Off topic side note, why the heck is it so hard to get grass fed butter in Canada?! •

AMINAL LOVE✨❤️
It just happens a lot.
Also that one time in the last 6 months that I actually straightened my hair, just to remember what it would feel like. It stayed kinda straight for about 1 minute and then the humidity won. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you use a vision board? 🌈🌙✨
• This is my most recent vision board that I re-calibrated some time last year. It’s mindfully and carefully crafted with quotes, photos, inspirations, words, symbols + anything that brings resonance to me. For example, the word ‘love’ comes up a lot, because it’s the number one priority in my life (love for myself, those around me, the planet.. you get it, it’s all about love ❤️). • Vision boards are used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal(s). You display visual representations of whatever you want to be, do, or have in your life and in doing so, these things just seem to appear/happen/be (see: law of attraction). I hang this board right in front of my desk at home, so I see it a lot. • When I get back to Canada, I’m going to re-calibrate this board to my latest dreams, aspirations, plans and goals.
I highly recommend the vision board process, especially if you’re a visual person like moi. •
If you use a vision board to help you manifest your dreams, let me know in the comments below! 🌈

You wouldn’t know it, but I’m actually at the top of a mountain here, in the clouds ☁️ . Actually, in the clouds so much that you can’t see the view… haha🤷🏻‍♀️.
And so it is.
Also, in case you didn’t know, messy buns area a low maintenance hair girl’s best friend 💁🏻‍♀️ . •
